I remember when the Northridge quake hit and all LA was blacked out... except our guy who had the electric truck ( and the generators) for the next day's shoot; His house was lit up like the Luxor.
On the stage yes! But if You're on location def not. Location shooting is a beast that involves all this planning but then once there the creatives a high percentage of the time change their minds lol so the plan they discussed and prepped for is now void.
There is Luminair or Blackout which can be used on an Ipad on location without a board, however these setups can get incredibly elaborate if you need to be able to send signal to cover a long distance. As Frank mentioned there may be a plan; but the board op has to be ready to change color temp/intensity on the day and lights may still get shifted around due to DP changes. With that said dmx is everything right now and it’s slowly trickling from just huge industry projects to smaller budget sets with the advancement in crmx. Aputure, Nanlite and a bunch of other manufacturers are working diligently to bridge the gap with fixtures that are powerful enough to replace legacy fixtures and dmx control at a more affordable price for sure. Ive worked an entire prison sets (on location) with just Blackout without needing transmitters, the limitation is really having enough transmitters, cable, nodes to send signal to every fixture and the smaller the budget the less likely you'll be able to do control every light due to universe limitations. So the short answer, yes you probably preset intensity and color temp on a few lights but it is incredibly unlikely that youre not going to make adjustments once talent arrives on set.
@@AaronReactivated great responses from all. I appreciate the insider info, im not in the industry but that being said i find it extremely interesting to watch a shift in technology change the base processes that those involved followed for years.

This is so interesting! Also fascinating how different it is from UK.
Oh now I'm curious about all the differences from your end!

Great video! He seems so knowledgeable and was a pleasure to listen to! 👍
So glad you enjoyed the interview! He's amazing! Thanks so much for watching 🎥😊🎥
Is there a software program that can run your lights (preset), Or are there too many variables involved to plan for those set ups?
On the stage yes! But if You're on location def not. Location shooting is a beast that involves all this planning but then once there the creatives a high percentage of the time change their minds lol so the plan they discussed and prepped for is now void.
Sounds like too many variables for normal operations in the movie industry, may be more efficient for concert set ups or predetermined shows.
